2285 - Commander Kruge is dead, slain at the hands of James T. Kirk on the Genesis Planet (''Film/StarTrekIIITheSearchForSpock''). Kruge's death throws his powerful House into disarray as various factions from within and without try to take leadership.

2386 - The ''Enterprise'' is pulled back from her mission of exploration by Admiral Riker to ferry members of the House of Kruge to the planet Gamaral to celebrate the centennial of their triumph in the battle for Kruge's legacy, presided over by Emperor Kahless himself.

Now it's a race against time as Picard, Riker and Worf must unravel the secrets of the aged Korgh before Chancellor Martok's reign is torn apart.
